  Summer gaming at the country house with lots of good memories about country house. Nostalgia about old games. Green grass and good weather. What can be better? I remember some best moments at the village. And, of course, beyond the weather. It is summer, at least. And weather is fine. It is hot. Some insects and birds. It is good. And, well, not only these things, and also a retro games. With my old win xp machine.

  Now, if final stage, there is one more game with programming language Pascal. Game is written with Free Pascal. And it will go with pack Basic Pascal games.

  Curse of Sands – text adventure about mystery of ancient Egypt. In a country of forever sand. In endless desert. You have found unknown before pyramid. You have seen it in a dreams. And locals told you, that you need to be carefully with this.

  And with the rights of retro programming. I want to tell in shorts about programming language Pascal. And about a certain version of realization Pascal – Pascal Abc.Net. As it was written at authors website - https://pascalabc.net/ , it is a system of programming. Simple and modern. For me it is retro theme, as I am a fan of old and cool Pascal. I am speaking about Turbo Pascal.

  Sunday, I spent with game console Nes 8 Bit. With my China variation Fc Compact 2. It is not bad console. Everything works on it. It works with cartridges. One thing, there are fat form factors of cartridges, and sometimes it happens, they don’t fit in cartridge slot. It is, mainly, about exotic for factors. All standard are going ok. And it is most big number of cartridges. And I play in my console using tv tuner. Old Aver Media Tv 7.

  I take to the country house with myself Windows Xp notebook. And I have something about programming. So, I successfully, installed Visual Studio 98, with components Visual Basic and Visual C++. And I was surprised, that component Visual C++ has no clean C way of writing. So, this means, it is already C++. And if you want only C, then you need something else.

  Country house, country house. Sweet village. So, it is already month June. But, to my surprise, it was cold weather. And I need to change shorts for jeans. So, this time, it was really cold, but without rain. Clouds in the sky. And when sun goes from the clouds, then it was getting warmer. And, by the evening, weather starts to be better. And I was basked under the sun in the evening. I watched the trees. You know, country house is in the forest. And I watched the sky.

  Now I stuck with doing a text quest. I write it in programming language Pascal ABC. IT is with Russian language support. There is a version with .NET support. So, it is a cool thing. So, it is very good for text adventure with support of Russian language. Game version has two languages. Russian and English. During start you choose language.

  First, that I run with new PC. New PC, new processor I7, new case by DEXP. And new video card  - Ge Force Rtx 3050. It was action rpg style of game - Warhammer 40 000 Inquisitor Martyr.

  Saturday again. Gaming again. At the country house, village. I take with myself notebook Asus F3s. And I played in it in Quake 2. And I don’t launch anything else. And a single thing I did. I install Dev Cpp for Winfows Xp. And check, that Visual Studio 6 C can start. From programs I have Visual Studio 6 with Visual Basic 6 and Visual C 6. So, I can seat and learn something. And, I have interest to make program in old Visual Studio or another ide.

  So, I am a fan of programming with Basic and Pascal. And it was a times, when I saw and a little try to program in MSX KUVT2, QBasic, Turbo Pascal, Visual Basic 6, Delphi 7. But in those days, mainly, I can write several commands. And a rather simple programs to write. Not more. And I have a very positive memories with this soft.

  Hurrah! Hurrah! I have got a new video card. It is Gigabyte RTX 3050 8Gb Eagle OC version. Personally, for me, it is something incredible gaming event. I don’t play in modern games, for a long time. And moment X has come. Moment Nvidia, as I can say. Moment Rtx! Moment of truth! Saying in a one word.

  And, I give myself I try, to play videogames for console NES at Sundays. So, it happens, that I play not a lot. So, in one of the weeks I play very a little in Nes. And, in another week, I played pretty good, it was a gaming Sunday. So, I make one tale out of two game weekends.

  And it is a may month. First time I got to the country house this year. So, I open the season. It is very nice at the village! Warm. Sun. Dandelions. Green grass. And it was mainly already warm weather. But, during the may it was also a little cold. But weekend at the village was with a nice weather.
